Trump Could be Bad News for the Media and Not Just MSM

In a 1990 interview with CNN, Trump stated the 'media gets away with murder' and is 'much too protected. he said that 'the difference is that with me,
at least they pay some price'. I found his statements Orwellian in nature and he called QUESTIONS and DEMEANOR of reporters INNACURATE when he didn't
like the questions. He wasn't really pointing out what was reported.

If Trump were to be elected, I see danger for not just the MSM but all reporters. Sometimes, posters here at ATS, looking at the OPs, are doing a
little more than typing on a discussion forum. They are creating a news story. I believe Trump would go after media large and small if they dare say
anything wrong about him. His comments do not fit very well wirth the American idea of free speech..

I do not see his opponent doing the same.

Recently, he walked away from 2 reporters when the questions seemed to annoy him. It is a free country, he doesn't have to answer, but to me it makes
him look like a diva getting pouty, ala interviews Paris Hilton has walked off of.

Trump has not changed, since 1990. He states in the interview he is 'and always has been thin skinned'. He still talks about suing the media, often.

Donald Trump made news last week when he abruptly walked away from two local television interviews after he was asked tough questions from
reporters.

The 1990 interview took place days before his Taj mahal casino was set to open. he had threatened to sue a financial analyst Marvin Roffman who told
the Wall Street Journal the casino would fail. It did, indeed fail. Roffman was fired from his firm, he says he believes it was due to Trump's anger.
Roffman sued Trump and Trump settled.

Trump was unseuccessful with Roffman, in the end, but he sues people, a lot.

Trump has been nasty even to FOX news reporters. Comments about Megyn Kelly shocked people across the political spectrum.

This video is alarming in how he could attempt to erode free speech based on his mood.

You do not see his opponent doing the same? His opponent has been doing the same for decades! Open your eyes to the media and tell me you honestly
don't believe we've already entered Orwell's vision of the media as an official propaganda arm of the establishment (note I'm not going partisan with
that statement... the "Inner Party" spans both Reps and Dems.) Look at the extraordinary ends the media is going to to defend their narrative around
this election, Russia, Syria, real unemployment numbers, the economy, etc. The "news" they report is so obviously sourced and approved from the
globalist establishment that even Nazi Germany would be impressed with how firmly they hold the narratives.

Is she threatening to sue people that say things she doesn't like? Does she un mic herself in a hissy and leave interviews with pre-planned issues
to discuss?

You are getting into the 'globalist establishment' ehiich I do not think HRC is the head of, but that goes far afield of the OP.

You don't think she is part of the globalist agenda, yet all she did when she was secretary was ask for money for the Clinton fountain and pass out
favors... And now we know she coordinates with the press... Well Geez, what in the heck reason would she threaten the msm when they are on the same
team... But yea, she doesn't threaten them.

Read, open your eyes, deny ignorance....

No, I'm not a trumper

Lots of people are part of the globalist aganda and none of us are in that club. She probably is along with Trump. I won't engage in discussion about
a charitible foundation here, though.

I don't know she is coordinating with the press. Which press? Some have always had a liberal or conservative bent.

Coordinating is probably better than threatening to punish them when they upset you.

Threatening to sue? Not to my knowledge. Unleashing the rabid venom of the liars at CTR onto anyone who crosses her? Sure seems that way.

Does she un mic herself in a hissy and leave interviews with pre-planned issues to discuss?

When was the last time the woman was interviewed? When was her last real press conference where honest questions were asked? By my count we are past
a year ago...

I don't think she's the head of it, either... but she certainly kneels and prays at their altar and, thus, is not to be even remotely trusted.

Ask yourself this, reldra... Just a few months ago, these same media outlets were in collusion with the evil Clinton trying to take down Bernie
Sanders. Every Sanders supporting progressive was screaming from the rooftops about how the media was in Clinton's pocket and that pocket was flush
with globalist corporate, MIC, oil, big pharma, and foreign interest money. The fact that the attacks against Sanders were coming from that media and
from the establishment in DC was heralded as proof that Sanders was "what America needed" and represented a return to American freedom... Who are
these same media and establishment sources attacking with 2, 3, 4 times the vigor and venom today?
